Margaret Donald and Lyndsey Craig from St Andrew’s Hospice in Airdrie were very welcome return visitors recently. The Hospice Schools Liaison Team members were delighted to receive a cheque for £3456, the total raised by staff and pupils who took part in the Hospice 6K run at Strathclyde Park. The total raised this year smashed the school’s previous record raised by more than £1000.

Some of the 90-strong staff and pupil team gathered at the front of the school to present Lyndsey and Margaret with the cheque. Before the cheque presentation, Margaret Donald made presentation on behalf of the Hospice. PE Teacher, Clare Hughes received a Certificate for being the fastest female athlete in the race. And, Louise Arthur and Holly MacDonald of S4 received recognition as St Andrew’s Hospice Champions for raising the highest individual amounts.
